BERTON SCHLOSBERG An interesting part of the camp was the student band, which was Organized on August 3 under the direction of Band leader Resta of the 17th 'Infantry band and the supervision Of Major Seals. When Major Seals succeeded in getting the band members relieved from kitchen police, stock went up 100 percent. Bright and early one morning the students noticed that the Reveille march sounded different from other days. The student band had taken over the job and relieved the regulars of this duty. -The same day they played at 7:30 for the drill. Daily practices were held from 1:30 to 3:30 p. m. The band played for all parades and ceremonies and for occasional concerts, relievingtthe 17th Band from one concert per Week. 1 The roster of the student band follows: ERWIN, LEWIS B.

BOLLENBECK g One of the most comprehensive athletic programs conceivable was planned and carried out by the athletic staff, Major William G. Weaver, Captain Joseph W. Bollenbeck and 1st Lieut. D. T. Mullett. The program included a choice of ten different sports for each student in camp: base- ball, volleyball, indoor baseball, boxing, track, swimming, tennis, golf, mountedsports and horseshoe pitching. Special instruction was offered in football, track, boxing, tennis and swimming. As- sisting the athletic oflicer as athletic specialists were Lieutenant Leo Robbins, Hope, Ark., Lieutenant Fred C. McFarland, Inf-Res., Kansas City, Mo., Lieutenant Robert H. Cole, Arkadelphia, Ark., Lieutenant Phillips, Westport, Ark., Lieutenant Philip D. Kernan, 17th Inf., Lieutenant Nelson, 17th Inf., and Lieutenant Vernon, 18th Inf. Equipment for baseball, indoor baseball, volleyball, boxing and horseshoe pitching was in the hands of every company when camp opened. Every company had its own volley- ball court and its own indoor baseball field. The program called for a competitive game of volleyball or indoor baseball for each platoon each afternoon. More than 120 students turned out for track athletics at the opening of the camp. Lieutenants Cole and Phillips put their work through successfully and staged, as a fitting climax, the camp field and track meet held on Friday and Saturday, August 21 and 22. The events were those of a regular field meet, except that baseball throwing, football punting and drop-kicking were included. Medals were awarded to winners of first and second places,-cups to each member of the winning relay teams.
